Real Tweets from Real People - Heat vs Blackhawks
If you've been reading AA this week, one of the major stories we've followed is the precipitous nosedive into hysterical absurdity that has been the live daytime episodes of SportsCenter and their futile quest to analyze the Chicago Blackhawks. After ignoring the NHL for so long, ESPN has scrambled to try to find some way to talk about the Blackhawks' point streak....

Darko’s Sad, Star-Crossed NBA Career May Have Reached Its End
Because of all the variables involved, the NBA Draft is an inexact science at best. Although many top selections, do play well enough to justify when they went in the Draft; there have been plenty of players that either proved to be amazing steals, or cataclysmic busts. There have been selections that just were not as good as NBA scouts expected them to be, while others failed; betrayed...

Phil Jackson back with the Lakers for the 3rd time, signs 3-year deal
If you’re into conspiracy theories, you’d have to believe that the Lakers had reached out to Phil BEFORE they fired Mike Brown Friday morning.

Sorry Chuck, My Accountant Ain’t From Princeton
Photo credit: US PresswireOver the last few days, a myriad of tweets and Facebook posts have been dedicated to harsh criticism of head coach Mike Brown and his newly installed Princeton offense.

Signs point to a turnaround season for Santa Clara
Any fan of a team that recently finished less than stellar– no matter the sport – is optimistic for a turnaround the following season. If such an improvement takes place, it’s magical, leaving fans and enthusiasts with an overwhelming feeling of pleasure and anticipation for the future. On the other hand, if progress doesn’t occur, the exact opposite happens.

Swapping Darko and Stiemsma
Twin Cities Business reports that the reason Darko was amnestied was because their coach, Rick Adelman wanted him gone. According to the report, with Adelman at the helm, they have gone from building slowly under Kurt Rambis to trying to build more quickly with Adelman.

Herm Edwards is giving pep talks to teams he was fired from
For whatever reason, somebody at ESPN is a HUGE fan of fake pep talks. We've seen them from Lou Holtz and now with the NFL season approaching, we're seeing them from former Jets and Chiefs coach Herman Edwards. Maybe it's because I've never been in a football locker room to get "pepped up" but I don't quite understand the appeal. The fake...

Come for the jiggling, stay for the wackiness.
Most people will do just about anything to get on TV, and NBA fans are no exception.

Getting tough may not get Celtics even
MIAMI When Rajon Rondo suggested in the aftermath of the Celtics' Game 1 loss to the Heat that if Dwyane Wade and LeBron James go to the basket, they need to "hit the deck," it was not surprising.
The Celtics, looking old, injured and overmatched, are clearly searching for something that can turn the Eastern Conference finals into a series.
And Rondo's proposal...
Getting tough may not get Celtics even
MIAMI - When Rajon Rondo suggested in the aftermath of the Celtics' loss to Miami in the opener of the Eastern Conference finals that if Dwyane Wade and LeBron James go to the basket, they need to "hit the deck," it was not surprising.
The Celtics, looking old, injured and overmatched, are clearly searching for something that can turn the series into, well, a series...
Video: ESPN's Rambis doesn't think Parker is the best PG in playoffs
San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker had a phenomenal regular season, was an NBA MVP candidate and is having a solid playoff run.
He shredded the Jazz in the first round and despite a rough Game 1 versus the Clippers in the semi finals, in Game 2 versus Chris Paul, TP had the upper hand. Though he didn't shoot well, he did finish with 22 points, 5 assists while Paul didn't...
Kurt Rambis, Dennis Scott to Talk Celtics, NBA Playoffs on Friday's 'Dennis and Callahan'

Nick Vanos Remembered: 1963-1987
By Stefan Swiat, Suns.com
Posted: August 16, 2007
When you look back at all of the memorable Suns that have hailed from Santa Clara University, you think of Dennis Awtrey, Kurt Rambis and, of course, Steve Nash.
Tragically, one player who might have been near the top of the list, had his career ended before it ever really started.
Nick Vanos graduated from Santa Clara,...
Believe It Or Not, T-Wolves Just Might Be For Real
Had you told a Minnesota Timberwolves fan before the start of the NBA campaign that their team would be one game over the .500 mark on February 28, they most likely would not know whether they should have hugged you, or call for the truck from the local insane asylum to come and take you away. As far-fetched as that scenario may have been back in late December, it is reality as...
Wolves want more defense from Beasley
MINNEAPOLIS Blame his sprained right foot.
Blame Kurt Rambis and Eric Spoelstra. Blame Frank Martin. Blame the coaches at his six different high schools, who started the trend of valuing Michael Beasley for his offensive skills and little else.
They're easy to blame and hard to fault. For so many years, Beasley was a prize, a sought-after recruit and the next best thing -...

Howlin' to Relevancy: Playoffs?! You kidding me?!
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. -Martin Luther King Jr.
Is it just me or does the above quote perfectly exemplify the 2011-12 Minnesota Timberwolves? For years they stood (or rather, sat) with the worst...
